OVERTIME  CLAIMS  OF  LETTER  CARRIERS. 


February  28,  1910 — Committed  to  the  Committee  of  the  Whole  House  and  ordered 

to  be  printed. 


Mr.  Lindbergh,  from  the  Committee  on  Claims,  submitted  the 

following 

REPORT. 

[To  accompany  S.  3638.] 

The  Committee  on  Claims,  to  whom  was  referred  the  bill  (S.  3638). 
to  provide  for  the  payment  of  overtime  claims  of  letter  carriers 
excluded  from  judgment  or  barred  by  limitation,  having  considered 
the  same,  report  thereon  with  a recommendation  that  it  do  pass. 

' HOW  THE  CLAIMS  AROSE. 

These  claims  originated  under  the  act  of  May  24,  1888  (25  Stat.  L., 
157),  an  act  to  limit  the  hours  that  letter  carriers  in  cities  shall  be 
employed  per  day.  This  act  reads  as  follows: 

That  hereafter  eight  hours  shall  constitute  a day’s  work  for  letter  carriers  in  cities 
or  postal  districts  connected  therewith,  for  which  they  shall  receive  the  same  pay 
as  is  now  paid  for  a day’s  work  of  a greater  number  of  hours.  And  if  any  letter  carrier 
is  employed  a greater  number  of  hours  per  day  than  eight  he  shall  be  paid  extra  for 
the  same  in  proportion  to  the  salary  now  fixed  by  law. 

The  Post-Office  Department  decided  that  it  would  only  count  the 
time  that  the  carriers  were  employed  on  their  routes  in  the  actual 
delivery  of  mail;  and  also  decided  to  charge  the  carriers  with  any 
deficiency  in  the  time  that  they  worked  on  Sundays. 

Suits  were  brought  in  the  Court  of  Claims  to  test  the  correctness 
of  the  department’s  rulings.  On  March  7,  1892,  the  Court  of  Claims 
decided  in  the  case  of  Aaron  S.  Post  that  the  carriers  were  entitled 
to  be  paid  for  all  the  time  that  they  worked,  and  in  the  case  of  Gates 
it  was  decided  that  no  deductions  could  be  made  because  the  carriers 
did  not  work  eight  hours  on  Sunday. 

The  United  States  appealed  both  cases  to  the  Supreme  Court  of 
the  United  States,  and  in  both  instances  the  Supreme  Court  sus- 
tained the  Court  of  Claims  and  entered  judgment  in  the  claims,  the 
opinion  being  written  by  Mr.  Justice  Blatchford  (148  U.  S.,  124-134). 
Both  opinions  are  printed  in  full  in  Senate  Report  No.  82,  pages  10-15.

OVERTIME  CLAIMS  OF  LETTER  CARRIERS. 


These  opinions  were  rendered  March  13,  1893,  and  on  April  4,  1893, 
the  Post-Office  Department  issued  instructions  with  reference  to 
carrying  out  the  law  as  construed  by  the  Supreme  Court,  to  take 
effect  April  30,  1893. 

In  the  report  of  the  Postmaster-General  for  1893  it  is  stated: 

In  a circular  which  I addressed  on  April  4,  1893,  to  the  postmaster  at  every  free- 
delivery  office  I set  forth  as  clearly  as  possible  the  construction  given  to  the  act  by 
the  decision  of  the  Court  of  Claims  of  March  7,  1892,  which  had  been  affirmed  by  the 
Supreme  Court  of  the  United  States  in  the  case  of  United  States  v.  Post,  decided 
March  13,  1893,  defining  the  rights  of  carriers  under  the  act,  and  I instructed  post- 
masters to  pay  no  claim  for  overtime  services  until  it  shall  have  been  submitted  to 
and  approved  by  this  department.  (Report  Postmaster-General,  1893,  p.  xiv). 

Very  little  overtime  was  made  after  April  30,  1893,  and  none  after 
January  1,  1895. 

HOW  THE  CLAIMS  WERE  SETTLED. 

Officers  of  the  Post-Office  Department  and  Department  of  Justice 
were  appointed  by  the  court,  upon  the  motion  of  the  Assistant 
Attorney-General,  commissioners  of  the  Court  of  Claims.  They  vis- 
ited the  cities,  examined  the  time  records,  the  postmasters,  superin- 
tendents, timekeepers,  and  such  letter  carriers  as  they  thought  nec- 
essary (the  order  appointing  the  commissioners  will  be  found  in 
Senate  Report  82,  p.  9).  Each  party  had  the  right  to  object  or  take 
exceptions  to  the  report  of  the  commissioners.  If  no  exceptions  were 
taken,  judgments  were  entered  for  the  amounts  found  due,  first 
deducting  any  amounts  which  had  been  earned  more  than  six  years 
before  the  suit  was  brought  in  the  court. 

Attorney-General  Griggs  says : 

The  various  amounts  were  ascertained  by  commissioners  of  the  Court  of  Claims, 
who  were  appointed  by  the  court  for  the  purpose  of  inquiring  into  the  facts  relating 
to  the  claims  of  letter  carriers  throughout  the  United  States  for  overtime  services, 
and  the  correctness  of  their  work  is  evidenced  by  the  fact  that  their  reports  have 
almost  invariably  been  accepted,  not  only  by  the  claimants  but  by  the  United  States, 
as  being  just  and  fair.  I am  satisfied,  too,  that  these  reports  were  eminently  con- 
servative. (Senate  Rept.  82,  p.  8.) 

Judgments  were  rendered  by  the  court  and  paid  to  the  amount  of 
$3,323,418.39.  (See  detailed  statement  annexed  hereto  of  appro- 
priations.) The  amount  deducted  because  of  the  statute  of  limita- 
tions is  $282,943.88,  as  shown  by  the  lists  transmitted  by  the  Attorney- 
General.  (S.  Doc.  216,  56th  Cong.,  1st  sess.,  and  S.  Doc.  158,  56th 
Cong.,  2d  sess.) 

The  Attorney-General  says : 

This  list  was  prepared  under  my  direction  by  an  expert  employee  of  this  department, 
who  has,  during  the  past  five  years,  assisted  the  commissioners  of  the  Court  of  Claims 
in  preparing  their  reports  to  the  court  of  overtime  of  letter  carriers.  The  list  was  made 
out  by  him  from  an  examination  of  each  one  of  the  2,000  or  more  reports  of  over- 
time of  letter  carriers  which  have  been  made  to  the  Court  of  Claims  by  the  com- 
missioners appointed  for  the  purpose  during  the  past  six  years,  and  was  based  upon  the 
statements  contained  in  such  reports  of  the  amount  and  value  of  overtime  service  per- 
formed by  letter  carriers  for  which  claim  was  barred  by  the  statute  of  limitations  govern- 
ing actions  in  the  Court  of  Claims. 

These  statements  of  barred  services  were  made  by  the  commissioners  upon  an  inves- 
tigation of  exactly  the  same  facts  as  were  inquired  into  by  them  in  reporting  upon 
claims  not  barred,  and,  in  fact,  are  a part  and  parcel  of  each  report.  The  result  of  this 
work  is  undoubtedly  correct.  (S.  Rept.  82,  bottom  p.  7,  top  p.  8.)

Tlie  Attorney-General,  under  date  of  February  8,  1901,  in  trans- 
mitting the  second  list,  says: 

As  the  investigation  of  this  entire  class  of  claims  has  now  been  completed,  the  present 
list,  and  that  contained  in  S.  Doc.  No.  216,  Fifty-sixth  Congress,  first  session,  comprise 
all  claims  of  the  description  mentioned  in  the  resolution  of  the  Senate.  (S.  Rept. 
82,  p.  4.) 

WHY  THE  UNITED  STATES  SHOULD  NOT  RELY  ON  THE  BAR  OF  THE 
STATUTE  OF  LIMITATIONS. 

The  Post-Office  Department  invited  the  carriers  to  present  their 
claims  to  the  department  in  the  belief  that  Congress  would  appropri- 
ate for  a sufficient  clerical  force  to  investigate  the  claims.  No  such 
appropriation  was  made. 

On  November  8,  1893  the  Postmaster-General  reported  to  the 
Speaker  of  the  House  of  Representatives : 

The  adjudication  and  settlement  of  these  claims  can  be  made  by  the  free  delivery 
division  of  this  department  direct,  if  afforded  an  adequate  clerical  force  for  their 
investigation  and  a sufficient  appropriation  for  their  payment.  (S.  Rept.  No.  82,  p.  8.) 

No  such  appropriation  was  made  and  the  claimants  brought  suit 
in  t}ie  Court  of  Claims,  but  that  court  has  no  jurisdiction  in  any 
matter  accruing  more  than  six  years  before  suit  is  brought,  and  while 
these  carriers  had  running  accounts  with  the  department  for  salary, 
they  could  not  take  advantage  of  that.  (See  statement  of  the  law 
on  p.  9 of  the  report.) 

The  Postmaster-General  told  the  carriers  that  it  was  unnecessary 
to  go  into  the  Court  of  Claims  and  sue  the  Government.  The  Post- 
master-General, in  a letter  dated  April  14, 1900,  says  that  under  date 
of  April  5,  1893,  which  was  within  the  six  years  for  filing  claims,  the 
Post-Office  sent  out  a circular  of  instructions  to  postmasters,  saying: 

“Letter  carriers  may  be  informed  that  a new,  and  it  is  to  be  hoped  a correct,  form 
of  claim  blank  will  soon  be  sent  by  the  department  for  the  benefit  of  claimants 
to  the  postmasters  at  all  free-delivery  offices  whence  overtime  claims  have  emanated, 
upon  which  particular  blank  all  claims  heretofore  submitted  should  be  restated  and 
upon  which  any  subsequent  claims  may  also  be  presented  to  the  department  for 
adjustment.” 

The  intention  of  the  department  to  adjust  these  claims  is  further  shown  in  a com- 
munication of  the  Postmaster-General  to  the  Speaker  of  the  House  of  Representatives, 
dated  November  8,  1893  (Ex.  Doc.  No.  8,  53d  Cong.,  2d  sess.),  and  by  letters  sent 
out  by  this  department  in  answer  to  inquiries  from  claimants.  As  a sample  of  these 
letters,  I quote  one  written  to  J.  F.  O’Connor,  Springfield,  Mass.,  under  date  of 
March  21,  1894: 

“Yours  of  the  27th  ultimo  received.  You  can  not  present  your  claims  for  back 
pay  to  the  Court  of  Claims  without  having  counsel  to  represent  you.  It  is  not  neces- 
sary, however,  to  present  these  claims  to  the  Court  of  Claims.  If  they  are  sent  to 
this  department  they  will  receive  proper  attention.”  (S.  Rept.  No.  82,  p.  7.) 

The  Postmaster-General  further  says : 

As  to  the  merits  of  the  claims,  I am  of  the  opinion  that  the  claimants  are,  as  a matter 
of  justice,  entitled  to  relief  in  some  form.  (Ibid.,  p.  7.) 

On  pages  16  to  20  of  Senate  Report  No.  82  will  be  found  a very 
large  number  of  typical  letters  from  claimants  giving  reasons  why 
their  claims  were  not  presented  in  time  to  except  the  action  of  the 
statute.

OVERTIME  CLAIMS  OF  LETTER  CARRIERS. 


The  House  Committee  on  Claims,  in  Report  No.  1182,  Fifty-sixth 
Congress,  first  session,  says: 

Under  all  the  circumstances  there  would  be  no  justice  in  the  Government  taking 
advantage  of  the  statute  of  limitations  (Rev.  Stat.,  sec.  1069),  which  the  parties  in 
these  cases  were  induced  to  disregard  by  the  action  of  the  department  itself,  however 
honestly  the  department  acted  itself,  and  in  the  full  belief  that  Congress  would  confer 
upon  it  authority  to  settle  the  claims  without  the  necessity  of  a recourse  to  the  Court 
of  Claims  on  the  part  of  the  claimants  (p.  3).

This  is  a bill  to  provide  for  the  payment  of  the  overtime  claims  of 
letter  carriers  excluded  from  judgment  as  barred  by  limitation. 
Similar  bills  have  heretofore  been  before  the  House  and  Senate  and 
have  received  nine  favorable  reports,  three  in  the  House  and  six  in 
the  Senate,  and  have  passed  the  Senate  four  times.  The  following 
is  a statement  showing  the  various  reports  and  action  taken  in  the 
two  Houses  of  Congress : 

May  1 1900,  Mr.  Boutell,  of  Illinois,  from  the  Committee  on  Claims 
in  the  House,  submitted  a favorable  report  on  the  bill  to  pay  these 
overtime  claims.  (H.  Rept.  1182,  56th  Cong.,  1st  sess.) 

June  2,  1900,  Mr.  Warren,  from  the  Committee  on  Claims  in  the 
Senate,  submitted  a favorable  report.  (S.  Rept.  1623,  56th  Cong., 
1st  sess.)  Neither  report  was  acted  on. 

April  2,  1902,  Mr.  Graff,  from  the  Committee  on  Claims  in  the 
House,  submitted  a favorable  report.  (H.  Rept.  1316,  57th  Cong., 
1st  sess.) 

June  27,  1902,  Mr.  Warren,  from  the  Committee  on  Claims  in  the 
Senate,  submitted  a favorable  report.  (S.  Rept.  2111,  57th  Cong., 
1st  sess.)  The  bill  (S.  2429)  on  which  this  last-mentioned  report 
was  made,  passed  the  Senate  January  31,  1903,  but  was  not  reached 
on  the  House  Calendar. 


OVERTIME  CLAIMS  OF  LETTER  CARRIERS.

February  14,  1903,  Mr.  Graff,  from  the  Committee  on  Claims  in 
the  House,  submitted  a favorable  report.  (H.  Kept.  3773,  57th 
Cong.,  2d  sess.) 

January  31,  1907,  Mr.  Smoot,  from  the  Committee  on  Claims  in 
the  Senate,  made  a favorable  report.  (S.  Rept.  5834,  59th  Cong., 
2d  sess.)  The  bill  (S.  1181)  was  passed  by  the  Senate  February  27, 
1907,  but  was  not  reported  back  in  the  House  of  Representatives. 

January  21,  1908,  Mr.  Smoot,  from  the  Committee  on  Claims  in 
the  Senate,  made  a favorable  report.  (S.  Rept.  82,  60th  Cong., 
1st  sess.)  The  bill  reported  (S.  2802)  was  passed  by  the  Senate 
January  28,  1908. 

March  16,  1908,  Mr.  Fulton,  from  the  Committee  on  Claims  in 
the  Senate,  reported  an  amendment  to  bill  H.  R.  15372,  the  omnibus 
claims  bill,  providing  for  the  payment  of  these  cases.  (S.  Rept.  382, 
60th  Cong.,  2d  sess.,  pp.  779-838.)  The  bill  containing  this  amend- 
ment was  passed  by  the  Senate  January  29,  1909,  but  the  bill  was  not 
acted  on  in  the  House  and  died  with  the  Sixtieth  Congress. 

February  21,  1910,  Mr.  Smoot  from  the  Committee  on  Claims  in 
the  Senate,  made  a favorable  report.  (S.  Rept.  252,  61st  Cong., 
2d  sess.) 

The  purpose  of  these  bills  has  been  the  payment  of  certain  claims 
of  letter  carriers  for  sums  due  them  as  pay  for  work  performed  by  them 
in  excess  of  eight  hours  a day,  under  the  provisions  of  the  act  of  May  24, 
1888,  entitled  uXn  act  to  limit  the  hours  that  letter  carriers  in  cities 
shall  be  employed  per  day.”  (25  Stat.  L.,  p.  157.)  The  amount  of 
pay  due  the  carriers  was  ascertained  by  officials  of  the  Post-Office 
Department  and  Department  of  Justice,  acting  as  commissioners  of 
the  Court  of  Claims,  and  reported  to  that  court,  but  when  the  court 
entered  judgment  on  such  reports  it  was  compelled  by  jurisdictional 
limitation  to  deduct  or  except  from  judgment  any  amounts  which 
had  accrued  more  than  six  years  before  suit  was  brought  in  that 
court  against  the  United  States.  Judgments  were  rendered  by  the 
Court  of  Claims  for  sums  in  excess  of  three  million  dollars  ($3,323,- 
418.39),  which  judgments  were  paid  by  appropriations  by  Congress. 

The  sum  carried  by  this  bill  is  to  pay  the  amount  the  court  excepted 
from  such  judgments  in  the  cases  of  3,809  carriers  in  371  cities  in  43 
States  of  the  Union.  This  entire  matter  has  been  so  fully  covered 
by  reports  heretofore  made  that  it  seems  hardly  necessary  to  do  more 
than  quote  from  such  reports  and  reiterate  the  recommendations  for 
the  passage  of  the  bill  heretofore  made. 

In  the  report  from  this  committee  submitted  by  Mr.  Graff 
(H.  Rept.  1316,  57th  Cong.,  1st  sess.)  the  following  is  stated  as  a 
summary  of  the  facts  as  they  appear: 

First.  The  Attorney-General  states  that  the  investigation  of  these  claims  was  of 
precisely  the  same  character  as  that  of  those  upon  which  judgments  have  been  entered 
and  paid,  and  so  far  as  the  proof  of  the  service  is  concerned  they  stand  upon  exactly 
the  same  footing. 

Second.  The  Postmaster-General  reports  that  the  claimants  were  invited  by  the 
department  itself  to  present  their  claims  to  the  Post-Office  Department,  and  that 
their  failure  to  present  their  claims  to  the  Court  of  Claims  being  thus  due  to  the  invita- 
tion of  the  department  itself,  in  the  belief  then  entertained  that  Congress  would 
appropriate  for  a sufficient  clerical  force  to  investigate  the  claims,  it  is  only  just  to 
the  claimants  that  relief  should  be  afforded  them. 

Third.  Some  of  the  parties  also  failed  to  present  their  claims  from  the  fact  that 
their  immediate  superiors  in  office  represented  to  them  that  to  present  their  claims 
might  jeopardize  their  official  positions.

OVERTIME  CLAIMS  OF  LETTER  CARRIERS. 


In  the  report  from  this  committee  submitted  by  Mr.  Boutell,  of 
Illinois  (H.  Rept.  1182,  56th  Cong.,  1st  sess.),  a very  clear  state- 
ment of  the  merits  of  these  cases  is  made,  as  follows: 

The  claims  referred  to  in  this  bill  arise  under  the  act  of  May  24,  1888,  entitled  “An 
act  to  limit  the  hours  that  letter  carriers  in  cities  shall  be  employed  per  day,  ’ ’ which 
is  as  follows: 

“Be  it  enacted , etc.,  That  hereafter  eight  hours  shall  constitute  a day’s  work  for 
letter  carriers  in  cities  or  postal  districts  connected  therewith,  for  which  they  shall 
receive  the  same  pay  as  is  now  paid  as  for  a day’s  work  of  a greater  number  of  hours. 
If  any  letter  carrier  is  employed  a greater  number  of  hours  per  day  than  eight  he  shall 
be  paid  extra  for  the  same,  in  proportion  to  the  salary  now  fixed  by  law.  (1  Supp. 
Rev.  Stat.,  587.)” 

It  is  stated  by  the  Postmaster-General  in  his  annual  report  for  the  year  1895,  page  118: 

“When  the  present  administration  assumed  charge  of  the  Post-Office  Department  it 
found  in  the  files  of  the  free-delivery  division  of  this  bureau  fully  4,000  overtime 
claims  of  letter  carriers,  aggregating  over  $15,000,000,  and  overtime  accumulating  at 
the  rate  of  $250,000  per  annum.  Five  years  had  passed  since  the  enactment  of  the 
eight-hour  law,  May  24,  1888,  and  the  appropriations  for  the  intervening  years,  nota- 
bly that  of  the  fiscal  year  1888-89,  had  been  especially  increased  to  enable  the  depart- 
ment to  meet  the  requirements  of  the  law,  yet  no  appreciable  decrease  in  the  annual 
accumulation  of  overtime  had  been  made.” 

Two  cases  involving  test  questions  under  the  act  were  brought  before  the  Court  of 
Claims  and  decided  favorably  to  the  carriers  on  the  7th  of  March,  1892,  and  will  be 
found  reported  in  the  twenty-seventh  volume  of  Court  of  Claims  Reports,  page  244. 
These  cases  were  taken  to  the  Supreme  Court  on  appeal,  and  the  judgments  affirmed 
March  13,  1893.  The  decisions  of  the  Supreme  Court  will  be  found  reported  in  148 
United  States  Reports,  pages  124  to  137.  The  opinions  of  the  Supreme  Court  in  these 
two  cases  are  annexed  to  this  report  as  an  appendix. 

At  the  session  of  Congress  following  the  date  of  these  decisions  the  House  of  Repre- 
sentatives adopted  a resolution  calling  on  the  Postmaster-General  to  state  in  what 
manner  these  claims  would  be  settled . The  response  of  the  Postmaster-General  to 
this  resolution  is  dated  November  8,  1893,  and  constitutes  House  Ex.  Doc.  No.  8, 
Fifty-third  Congress,  second  session.  It  is  annexed  to  this  report  as  an  appendix. 

It  will  be  seen  from  this  report  that  the  House  was  informed  by  the  Postmaster- 
General  that  “the  adjudication  and  settlement  of  these  claims  can  be  made  by  the 
Free-Delivery  Division  of  this  department  direct,  if  afforded  an  adequate  clerical  force 
for  their  investigation  and  a sufficient  appropriation  for  their  payment.”  No  such 
appropriation,  however,  was  made,  either  for  the  purpose  of  providing  clerical  force 
for  the  investigation  of  the  claims  or  for  their  payment. 

In  consequence  all  the  carriers  in  the  country  who  had  claims  of  this  character — 
and  they  included  practically  all  letter  carriers  who  were  in  service  from  1888  to 
1893 — had  ultimately  to  present  their  claims  to  the  Court  of  Claims.  The  manner  in 
which  these  claims  were  investigated  is  shown  by  the  following  statement  from  the 
report  of  the  Postmaster-General  for  1896,  page  173: 

‘ ‘ To  expedite  a settlement  in  which  the  interests  of  the  department  as  well  as  those 
of  the  letter  carriers  might  be  fully  protected,  an  arrangement  was  made  with  the 
Department  of  Justice  by  which  the  assistant  superintendent  of  the  free-delivery 
system  and  another  employee  of  this  department  were  commissioned  by  the  Court 
of  Claims  special  commissioners  in  the  settlement  of  overtime  claims  by  letter  carriers.” 

It  is  stated  in  the  report  of  the  Postmaster-General  for  1897,  page  95,  that  the  total 
amount  of  these  claims  investigated  and  allowed  by  the  commissioners,  and  in  which 
judgments  of  the  court  have  been  entered  and  paid  under  the  appropriations  annually 
made  in  the  deficiency  appropriation  act,  have  been  over  $3,000,000. 

Wherever,  in  investigating  these  claims,  the  commissioners  ascertain  that  any 
portion  of  the  claim  was  over  six  years’  standing  before  the  petition  had  been  filed, 
they  nevertheless  stated  the  amount  that  had  been  earned,  and  it  was  thereupon 
excluded  or  excepted  from  judgment  by  the  court  in  entering  judgment.  It  is  these 
excluded  or  excepted  amounts  which  the  present  bill  proposes  to  pay.  The  Senate, 
on  the  18th  of  December,  1899,  adopted  a resolution  calling  on  the  Attorney-General 
for  a statement  of  the  amounts  so  excluded  or  excepted  from  judgment  for  the  sole 
reason  that  the  same  were  barred  by  the  statute  of  limitations.  In  response  to  that 
call  the  Attorney-General  transmitted  a list,  which  has  been  printed  as  Senate  Docu- 
ment 216. 

Your  committee,  through  the  subcommittee  to  whom  this  bill  has  been  referred, 
called  upon  the  Postmaster-General  and  Attorney-General,  respectively,  for  their 


OVERTIME  CLAIMS  OF  LETTER  CARRIERS.  7 

views  on  the  propriety  of  this  legislation.  Each  of  those  officers  responded,  and  the 
purport  of  their  statements  may  be  summarized  as  follows: 

First.  The  Attorney-General  states  that  the  investigation  of  these  claims  was  of 
precisely  the  same  character  as  that  of  those  upon  which  judgments  have  been  entered 
and  paid,  and  so  far  as  the  proof  of  the  service  is  concerned  they  stand  upon  exactly 
the  same  footing. 

Second.  The  Postmaster-General  reports  that  the  claimants  were  invited  by  the 
department  itself  to  present  their  claims  to  the  Post-Office  Department,  and  that  their 
failure  to  present  their  claims  to  the  Court  of  Claims  being  thus  due  to  the  invitation 
of  the  department  itself,  in  the  belief  then  entertained  that  Congress  would  appropriate 
for  a sufficient  clerical  force  to  investigate  the  claims,  it  is  only  just  to  the  claimants 
that  relief  should  be  afforded  to  them. 

The  letters  of  the  Postmaster-General  and  Attorney-General  here  referred  to  are 
annexed  in  full  as  appendixes  to  this  report. 

In  addition  thereto  there  have  been  laid  before  your  committee  a large  number  of 
statements  from  claimants  whose  cases  are  embodied  in  the  present  bill  explaining 
why  they  failed  to  present  their  claims  until  a portion  thereof  had  been  barred  by  limi- 
tation. Extracts  from  some  of  those  letters  are  embodied  in  an  additional  appendix 
to  this  report.  As  in  a general  way  their  statements  are  corroborated  by  the  statement 
made  in  the  letter  of  the  Postmaster-General  to  your  committee,  it  is  believed  by  your 
committee,  that  the  statements  of  the  writers  are  entitled  to  credence. 

Under  all  the  circumstances,  there  would  be  no  justice  in  the  Government  taking 
advantage  of  the  statute  of  limitations  (Rev.  Stats.,  sec.  1069),  which  the  parties  in 
these  cases  were  induced  to  disregard  by  the  action  of  the  department  itself,  however 
honestly  the  department  acted  itself,  and  in  the  full  belief  that  Congress  would  confer 
upon  it  authority  to  settle  the  claims  without  the  necessity  of  a recourse  to  the  Court 
of  Claims  on  the  part  of  the  claimants. 

The  amount  of  the  claims,  as  officially  footed  up  by  the  Attorney-General  in  his 
letter  to  your  committee,  is  $220,674.24.  Your  committee  therefore  report  back  the 
bill  (H.  R.  10315)  with  an  amendment  inserting  that  amount  in  place  of  the  amount 
$221,451.37,  as  contained  in  lines  9 and  10  of  the  bill,  and  as  so  amended  recommend 
its  passage. 

In  the  report  of  this  committee  in  the  Fifty-seventh  Congress  (H 
Rept.  No.  1316)  it  appears  that: 

Subsequently  to  the  date  of  the  report  of  the  Committee  on  Claims,  the  Attorney- 
General  transmitted  another  list  of  similar  claims  examined  since  the  date  of  trans- 
mission of  the  first  list,  and  found  to  be  barred  by  the  statute  of  limitations,  stating 
also  that  the  investigation  of  this  entire  class  of  claims  had  now  been  completed,  so  that 
this  last  list  constitutes  the  final  list,  and  the  two  together  comprise  all  claims  of  this 
description. 

The  letter  of  the  Attorney-General  transmitting  that  list  is  as  follows: 

Department  of  Justice, 
Washington , D.  C.,  February  8,  1901. 

To  the  Senate: 

I have  the  honor  to  transmit  herewith  a list  in  further  response  to  Senate  resolu- 
tion, No.  40,  of  December  18,  1899,  calling  upon  this  department  for  a list  showing 
the  amounts  which  have  been  reported  by  the  commissioners  of  the  Court  of  Claims, 
or  found  by  the  court,  as  representing  services  actually  performed  by  letter  carriers 
in  excess  of  eight  hours  per  day,  under  the  act  of  May  24,  1888,  entitled  “An  act  to 
limit  the  hours  that  letter  carriers  in  cities  shall  be  employed  per  day,”  but  which 
have  been  excluded  or  excepted  from  judgment  for  the  sole  reason  that  the  same 
were  barred  by  the  statute  of  limitations. 

The  list  herewith  transmitted  represents  claims  of  precisely  the  same  character 
as  those  contained  in  the  list  transmitted  by  this  department  on  the  10th  of  March, 
1900,  and  contained  in  Senate  Document  No.  216,  Fifty-sixth  Congress,  first  session. 
They  were  examined  by  a commissioner  of  the  Court  of  Claims  in  precisely  the  same 
manner  as  those  contained  in  that  list,  and  are  contained  in  reports  filed  by  the  com- 
missioner since  the  date  of  the  transmission  of  that  list,  with  the  exception  of  a few 
cases  accidently  omitted  from  the  first  list,  and  which  are  herewith  included. 

As  the  investigation  of  this  entire  class  of  claims  has  now  been  completed,  the 

E resent  list,  and  that  contained  in  Senate  Document  No.  216,  Fifty-sixth  Congress, 
rst  session,  comprise  all  claims  of  the  description  mentioned  in  the  resolution  of  the 
Senate.

OVERTIME  CLAIMS  OF  LETTER  CARRIERS. 


My  views  on  these  claims,  as  stated  in  my  letter  of  April  18,  1900,  to  the  chairman 
the  Senate  Committee  on  Claims,  printed  in  Senate  Report  No.  1623,  Fifty-sixth 
Congress,  first  session,  apply  equally  to  those  embodied  in  the  accompanying  list. 

Very  respectfully, 

John  W.  Griggi, 

A ttorney-Genera  l . 

# The  bill  herewith  reported  provides  for  the  payment  of  the  claims  contained  in  both 
lists.  The  list  of  amounts  due,  by  cities  and  States,  is  appended  to  this  report. 

[From  House  Report  1182,  Fifty-seventh  Congress,  first  session.] 

[Supreme  Court  of  the  United  States.  No.  1061.  October  term,  1892.  The  United  States,  appellant,  v. 

Aaron  S.  Post.  Appeal  from  the  Court  of  Claims.  March  13, 1893.  148  U.  S.,  124.] 

Mr.  Justice  Blatchford  delivered  the  opinion  of  the  court: 

This  is  a suit  brought  in  the  Court  of  Claims  by  Aaron  S.  Post  against  the  United 
States  by  an  original  petition  filed  March  26,  1891.  A traverse  of  the  petition  was 
filed  May  23,  1891,  and  an  amended  petition  January  11,  1892.  In  the  latter  it  is  set 
forth  that  the  claimant  was,  from  May  24,  1888,  to  December  31,  1889,  a letter  carrier 
in  the  post-office  at  the  city  of  Salt  Lake  City,  in  the  Territory  of  Utah,  of  the  class 
entitled  to  a salary  of  $850  a year;  that  during  that  period  he  was  from  time  to  time 
actually  and  necessarily  employed  in  excess  of  eight  hours  a day  in  the  performance 
of  the  duties  assigned  to  him  as  such  carrier,  aggregating  an  excess  of  a specified  num- 
ber of  hours;  that  by  the  act  of  Congress  of  May  24,  1888,  ch.  308  (25  Stat.,  157),  en- 
titled ‘‘An  act  to  limit  the  hours  that  letter  carriers  in  cities  shall  be  employed  per 
day,  ’ ’ he  became  entitled  to  extra  pay  for  all  the  time  during  which  he  was  so  employed 
in  excess  of  eight  hours  a day,  and  that  he  had  applied  to  the  Post-Office  Department 
for  payment  of  the  same  and  it  had  not  been  paid,  and  he  claimed  judgment  for  a 
specified  amount  and  costs.  A traverse  of  the  amended  petition  was  filed  February  21, 
1892.  Eight  other  cases  were  before  the  Court  of  Claims  and  tried  at  the  same  time, 
with  petitions  in  the  same  form  and  claiming  various  amounts,  the  claimants  serving 
for  various  periods,  and  their  classes  and  salaries  being  various. 

The  Court  of  Claims  found  that  Post  was  a letter  carrier  at  the  post-office  at  Salt  Lake 
City  between  May  24,  1888,  and  December  21,  1889,  of  the  second  class,  at  a salary 
of  $850  a year.  The  other  findings  were  as  follows: 

“2.  During  their  aforesaid  terms  of  service  said  claimants  were  actually  employed 
in  the  performance  of  their  duties  more  than  eight  hours  a day,  the  excess  over  such 
eight  hours  being  shown  in  the  following  finding: 

3.  “The  manner,  time,  and  nature  of  their  employment  was  generally  as  follows: 

“They  were  required  to  report  for  duty  at  the  post-office  at  7 a.  m.  From  7 to  7.30 
they  were  employed  within  the  post-office  in  the  distribution  of  mail  matter;  that  is 
to  say,  in  taking  letters  and  papers  from  newly  arrived  pouches,  assorting  them,  and 
placing  them  in  the  boxes  for  box  and  general  delivery. 

“From  7.30  to  8 they  were  severally  engaged  in  arranging  their  own  mail  matter 
for  carrier  delivery  by  streets  and  numbers,  and  where  the  residence  of  a person  was 
not  expressed  in  the  direction  of  a letter  and  was  not  known  or  remembered  in  looking 
it  up  in  the  directory. 

“From  8 to  11  they  were  occupied  on  their  routes  in  delivering  and  collecting  mail 
matter. 

“From  11  to  11.30  they  were  engaged  within  the  post-office  building  in  making 
returns  of  persons  not  found  and  other  things  connected  with  their  route  delivery. 

“From  11.30  to  1 they  were  employed  within  the  post-office  in  the  general  distri- 
bution of  mail  matter. 

“From  1 to  2 they  were  absent  and  off  duty. 

“From  2 to  3.30  they  were  again  employed  on  the  post-office  work  of  distributing 
general  mail  matter. 

“From  3.30  to  4 they  were  severally  engaged  in  arranging  their  own  mail  matter 
for  delivery. 

“From  4 to  6 they  were  again  occupied  on  their  routes  in  delivering  and  collecting 
mail  matter  and  in  making  their  returns. 

“From  6 to  7 they  were  again  absent  and  off  duty. 

“From  7 to  8 they  were  again  employed  on  the  post-office  work  of  distributing 
general  mail  matter. 

“The  above  statement  represents  an  ordinary  or  average  day’s  employment.  The 
time  of  going  out  and  the  time  of  being  out  on  the  routes,  in  fact,  varied  with  the  size 
of  the  mail,  as  did  the  time  of  their  being  relieved  from  duty  at  night.  But  their 
reporting  for  duty  at  7 in  the  morning,  at  2 in  the  afternoon,  and  at  7 in  the  evening 
was  constant.

“The  above  statement  does  not  apply  to  Sundays.  On  Sundays  the  carriers  made 
no  deliveries.  They  were  employed,  however,  in  the  office;  but  the  time  of  employ- 
ment did  not  exceed  eight  hours.  During  the  time  covered  by  this  claim  there  were 
9 carriers  and  3 clerks  employed  in  said  post-office. 

“4.  The  carriers,  by  one  of  their  number,  remonstrated  against  the  performance 
of  work  not  connected  with  their  duties  as  carriers.  The  postmaster,  however,  held 
that  ‘under  the  regulations  the  postmaster  could  use  them  in  that  service.’  He 
therefore  required  them  to  perform  it. 

“5.  During  the  time  embraced  within  the  present  claims  the  following  regulations 
of  the  Post-Office  Department  were  in  force,  all  under  the  general  title,  ‘ Free-Delivery 
Service.’  (Postal  Laws  and  Regulations,  1887,  pp.  259,  261,  266,  268,  269): 

“ ‘Sec.  628.  Postmasters  to  supervise  carrier  service. — Postmasters  will  supervise  their 
carrier  service,  and  are  specially  enjoined — 

“ ‘1.  To  see  that  superintendents,  carriers,  and  clerks  connected  with  this  service 
are  fully  informed  as  to  their  responsibilities  and  duties.  * * * 

“ ‘3.  To  frequently  visit  the  stations  and  see  that  the  regulations  are  there  observed 
and  proper  order  and  discipline  maintained. 

“ ‘4.  To  issue  all  necessary  orders  and  instructions  necessary  to  carry  out  the  reg- 
ulations and  promote  the  efficiency  of  the  service. 

“ ‘5.  To  reprimand  the  carriers  for  irregularities  or  report  them  for  removal  to  the 
superintendent  of  free  delivery,  as  the  nature  of  the  offense  may  require.  (See 
section  642.) 

“ ‘Sec.  642.  Reprimand , suspension , and  removal. — The  due  performance  of  their 
duty  by  carriers,  and  the  observance  of  law,  regulations,  and  orders  prescribed  for 
their  conduct,  will  be  enforced  by  reprimand  for  slight  offenses;  by  suspension  with 
loss  of  pay  for  more  serious  ones,  not,  however,  to  exceed  thirty  days;  and  by  sus- 
pension and  recommendations  for  removal  for  grave  offenses,  or  persistent  disregard 
of  the  rules  herein  prescribed,  or  of  the  orders  of  the  postmaster  not  inconsistent  here- 
with. In  all  other  cases  of  recommendation  for  removal,  carriers  should  not  be  sus- 
pended, but  postmasters  should  await  the  action  of  the  department. 

“All  the  following  are  under  the  subtitle  ‘General  Duties  of  Carriers.’ 

“ ‘Sec.  647.  Duties  generally. — Carriers  shall  be  employed  in  the  delivery  and  col- 
lection of  mail  matter,  and  during  the  intervals  between  their  trips  may  be  employed 
in  the  post-office  in  such  manner  as  the  postmaster  may  direct,  but  not  as  clerks. 

“ ‘The  delivery  and  collection  by  them  must  be  frequently  tested  at  irregular 
intervals,  to  determine  their  efficiency. 

“ ‘Sec.  648.  Delivery  of  mutter. — The  mails  must  be  assorted  and  the  carriers  started 
on  their  first  daily  trip  as  early  as  practicable.  They  must  proceed  to  their  routes 
with  expedition  and  by  the  most  direct  way.  A schedule  of  the  order  of  delivery 
of  each  route  should  be  made  in  a legible  hand  by  names  of  streets  and  numbers  of 
houses,  and  the  mail  delivered  according  to  such  schedule.  Mail  matter  directed  to 
box  numbers  must  be  delivered  through  the  boxes.  Mail  matter  addressed  to  street 
and  number  must  be  delivered  by  carriers  unless  otherwise  directed.  Mail  matter 
addressed  neither  to  a box  holder  nor  to  a street  and  number  must  be  delivered  by 
carrier  if  its  address  is  known  or  can  be  ascertained  from  the  city  directory,  other- 
wise, at  the  general  delivery. 

“ ‘Sec.  649.  Care  in  delivery  of  mail. — Carriers  will  exercise  great  care  in  the  deliv- 
ery of  mail  to  the  persons  for  whom  it  is  intended,  or  to  some  one  known  to  them  to 
be  authorized  to  receive  it.  They  will,  in  case  of  doubt,  make  respectful  inquiry 
with  the  view  to  ascertain  the  owner.  Failing  in  this,  they  will  return  the  mail  to  the 
office,  to  be  disposed  of  as  the  postmaster  may  direct. 

“ ‘Sec.  651.  Directory  to  be  used  to  ascertain  addresses. — Where  a directory  is  pub- 
lished it  must  be  used  when  necessary  to  ascertain  the  address  of  persons  to  whom 
letters  are  directed,  and  it  should  also  be  used  in  the  case  of  transient  newspapers 
and  other  matter  of  the  third  and  fourth  classes,  where  the  error  in  or  omission  of 
street  address  is  evidently  the  result  of  ignorance  or  inadvertence;  but  when  circulars, 
printed  postal  cards,  or  other  matter,  except  letters,  shall  arrive  at  any  post-office  in 
large  quantities,  apparently  all  sent  by  the  same  person  or  firm,  and  from  which  the 
street  addresses  have  been  purposely  omitted,  the  directory  need  not  be  used  to  sup- 
ply such  omission,  and  all  of  such  circulars,  etc.,  which  can  not  readily  be  delivered 
through  boxes  or  by  carriers,  shall  be  sent  to  the  general  delivery  to  await  call.  ’ 

“6.  In  the  case  of  Aaron  S.  Post,  the  claimant,  between  the  24th  day  of  May,  1888, 
and  the  31st  day  of  December,  1889,  was  employed  by  order  of  the  postmaster  in 
excess  of  eight  hours  a day,  as  follows: 

“ Before  7 a.  m.,  the  regular  hour  when  the  carriers  reported  for  duty,  he  arrived 
at  the  office  and  opened  the  eastern  mail,  which  came  at  about  5 in  the  morning,  in 
order  to  prepare  the  same  for]  the  southern  mail.  This  was  done  so  that  it  would

OVERTIME  CLAIMS  OF  LETTER  CARRIERS. 


not  have  to  lie  over  twenty-four  hours.  The  time  thus  employed  was  two  hundred 
and  forty-six  and  one-half  hours. 

“During  intervals  between  7 a.  m.,  when  carriers  reported  for  duty,  and  6 p.  in., 
when  their  work  as  carriers  ended,  he  was  employed  in  the  office  in  opening  the 
mail,  stamping  it,  and  distributing  the  same  as  hereinbefore  stated,  in  excess  of  eight 
hours,  nine  hundred  and  eighty-six  hours. 

“After  his  last  trip  and  his  returns  as  carrier  were  made — i.  e.,  after  7 p.  m. — he 
was  employed  on  the  post-office  work  of  distributing  general  mail  matter  in  the  office 
four  hundred  and  ninety-three  hours.” 

On  such  findings  of  fact,  the  court  found  as  a conclusion  of  law  that  Post  was 
entitled  to  recover  for  1,725£  hours  of  extra  work,  amounting,  at  the  rate  of  29.1  cents 
per  hour,  to  $502.12.  The  opinion  of  the  court  in  the  nine  cases,  including  that  of 
Post,  is  found  in  27  Ct.  Cl.,  244.  A judgment  was  entered  in  favor  of  Post  on  March 
10,  1892,  for  $502.12,  from  which  judgment  the  United  States  appealed  to  this  court. 

The  act  of  May  24,  1888,  reads  as  follows:  “That  hereafter  eight  hours  shall  con- 
stitute a day’s  work  for  letter  carriers  in  cities  or  postal  districts  connected  therewith, 
for  which  they  shall  receive  the  same  pay  as  is  now  paid  as  for  a day’s  work  of  a 
greater  number  of  hours.  Tf  any  letter  carrier  is  employed  a greater  number  of  hours 
per  day  than  eight  he  shall  be  paid  extra  for  the  same  in  proportion  to  the  salary 
now  fixed  by  law.” 

The  contention  of  the  United  States  is  that  the  statute  has  reference  only  to  letter- 
carrier  service,  and  that  the  claimant,  to  bring  himself  within  its  provisions,  must 
show  not  only  that  he  has  performed  more  than  eight  hours  of  'service  in  a day,  but 
also  that  such  eight  hours  of  service  related  exclusively  to  the  free  distribution  and 
collection  of  mail  matter,  and  that  the  extra  service  for  which  he  claims  compensa- 
tion was  of  the  same  character. 

In  this  connection  reference  is  made  to  sections  1764  and  1765  of  the  Revised 
Statutes.  Section  1764  provides  as  follows:  “No  allowance  or  compensation  shall  be 
made  to  any  officer  or  clerk  by  reason  of  the  discharge  of  duties  which  belong  to  any 
other  officer  or  clerk  in  the  same  or  any  other  department;  and  no  allowance  or  com- 
pensation shall  be  made  for  any  extra  services  whatever  which  any  officer  or  clerk 
may  be  required  to  perform,  unless  expressly  authorized  by  law.”  Section  1765 
provides  as  follows:  “No  officer  in  any  branch  of  the  public  service,  or  any  other  per- 
son whose  salary,  pay,  or  emoluments  are  fixed  by  law  or  regulation,  shall  receive  any 
additional  pay,  extra  allowance,  or  compensation,  in  any  form  whatever,  for  the 
disbursement  of  public  money,  or  for  any  other  service  or  duty  whatever,  unless  the 
same  is  authorized  by  law  and  the  appropriation  therefor  explicitly  states  that  it  is 
for  such  additional  pay,  extra  allowance,  or  compensation.” 

Referring  to  section  647  of  the  Postal  Laws  and  Regulations  of  1887,  which  were 
in  force  during  the  time  embraced  within  the  claim  in  question,  under  the  head  of 
“Free-delivery  service”  (and  which  section  647  is  set  forth  in  finding  5 of  the  Court 
of  Claims),  under  the  subtitle  “General  duties  of  carriers,”  it  providing  as  follows: 
“Carriers  shall  be  employed  in  the  delivery  and  collection  of  mail  matter,  and,  dur- 
ing the  intervals  between  their  trips,  may  be  employed  in  the  post-office  in  such 
manner  as  the  postmaster  may  direct,  but  not  as  clerks,”  it  is  contended  for  the 
United  States  that  the  duties  of  letter  carriers  are  a necessary  incident  to  the  creation 
of  the  free-delivery  service;  that  the  statute  necessarily  defines  their  services  to  be  a 
distribution  and  collection  of  mail,  and  such  other  duties  as  are  necessarily  incident 
thereto,  such  as  receiving  the  mail  allotted  to  them  by  clerks  in  the  post-office,  arrang- 
ing it  for  distribution,  and  making  a proper  disposition  of  it,  when  not  delivered, 
upon  their  return  to  the  post-office;  and  that  any  other  service  which  a carrier  may 
perform  is  not  contemplated  by  the  act  of  May  24,  1888,  and  is  an  extra  service  within 
the  meaning  of  sections  1764  and  1765  of  the  Revised  Statutes,  payment  for  which  is 
not  authorized  by  law. 

For  the  claimant,  it  is  contended  that,  under  section  647  of  the  regulations  of  the 
department,  as  set  forth  in  finding  5 of  the  Court  of  Claims,  the  extra  service  for 
which  the  claim  is  made  was  an  employment  of  the  letter  carrier,  not  only  in  the 
delivery  and  collection  of  mail  matter,  but  also  in  the  post-office,  during  the  intervals 
between  his  trips,  in  such  manner  as  the  postmaster  directed,  but  not  as  a clerk. 

It  is  not  stated  in  the  findings  that  the  claimant  was  so  employed  as  a clerk,  nor 
does  it  appear  what  the  duties  of  a clerk  in  the  post-office  in  question  were,  but  merely 
that,  during  the  time  covered  by  the  claim,  there  were  nine  carriers  and  three  clerks 
employed  in  that  post-office.  It  is  also  found,  by  finding  4,  that  the  carriers  remon- 
strated against  the  performance  of  work  not  connected  with  their  duties  as  carriers; 
but  that  the  postmaster  held  that,  under  the  regulations,  he  could  use  them  in  that 
service,  and  therefore  required  them  to  perform  it.  This,  in  view  of  the  provision 
of  section  647  of  the  regulations,  is  substantially  a finding  that  they  were  not  employed 
as  clerks. 


OVERTIME  CLAIMS  OF  LETTER  CARRIERS. 


11 


The  whole  contention  on  the  part  of  the  United  States  amounts  to  this,  that  the 
Court  of  Claims  has  substantially  found  that  none  of  the  extra  work  for  which  com- 
pensation is  claimed  was  incident  to  the  general  duties  of  the  claimant  as  a letter 
carrier,  and  that  the  statute  in  regard  to  extra  service  relates  exclusively  to  that 
which  is  connected  with  the  general  duties  of  the  claimant  as  a letter  carrier,  and 
not  to  compensation  for  extra  service,  when  he  is  not  employed  for  eight  hours  a day 
in  the  performance  of  his  general  duties  as  a letter  carrier. 

The  statute  of  1888  provides  that  eight  hours  shall  constitute  a day’s  work  “for 
letter  carriers”  in  cities  or  postal  districts  connected  therewith.  It  does  not  state 
what  duties  the  letter  carriers  shall  perform  during  such  day’s  work,  but  merely  that 
they  shall  receive  for  such  day’s  work  of  eight  hours  the  same  pay  that  was  then 
paid  for  a day’s  work  of  a greater  number  of  hours.  It  further  provides  that  if  a 
letter  carrier  is  employed  a greater  number  of  hours  per  day  than  eight  he  shall  be 
paid  extra  for  such  greater  number  of  hours  in  proportion  to  the  salary  fixed  by  law 
for  his  compensation.  This  extra  pay  is  given  to  him  by  the  statute  distinctly  for 
his  being  employed  a greater  number  of  hours  per  day  than  eight.  The  statute  does 
not  say  how  he  must  be  employed,  or  of  what  such  employment  is  to  consist.  It  is 
necessary  only  that  he  should  be  a letter  carrier,  and  be  lawfully  employed  in  work 
that  is  not  inconsistent  with  his  general  business  under  his  employment  as  a letter 
carrier.  The  employment  authorized  by  section  647  of  the  regulations  is  defined  to 
be  an  employment  in  the  post-office  in  such  manner  as  the  postmaster  may  direct, 
during  the  intervals  between  the  carrier’s  trips  in  delivering  and  collecting  mail  mat- 
ter, provided  that  he  be  not  employed  in  the  post-office  as  a clerk  therein. 

The  Court  of  Claims,  in  its  opinion,  arrived  at  the  following  conclusions:  (1)  That 
the  letter  carriers  were  entitled  to  recover,  not  only  for  all  work  done  by  them  on  the 
street,  in  delivering  and  collecting  mail  matter,  but  also  for  all  work  done  in  the  post- 
office,  in  receiving  and  arranging  the  letters  of  their  routes;  (2)  that,  as  to  the  dis- 
tribution of  mail  matter  for  the  boxes  and  general  delivery,  as  found  in  finding  3, 
during  the  times  intervening  between  one  trip  and  another  in  the  same  day,  the  regu- 
lations of  the  department,  set  forth  in  finding  5,  could  properly  be  construed  as  per- 
mitting such  services;  and  (3)  that,  as  to  the  services  of  the  same  character  rendered 
after  the  termination  of  the  last  trip  for  the  day  of  the  carrier  in  delivering  and  col- 
lecting mail  matter,  they  were  services  fairly  within  the  power  of  the  postmaster  to 
prescribe. 

We  are  of  opinion  that,  in  respect  for  all  such  services,  the  letter  carrier,  if  em- 
ployed therein  a greater  number  of  hours  than  eight  per  day,  was  entitled  to  be 
paid  extra.  To  hold  otherwise  would  be  to  say  that  the  carrier  was  employed  con- 
trary to  the  regulations  of  the  department,  when  it  clearly  appears  that  he  was  em- 
ployed in  accordance  with  such  regulations.  The  statute. was  manifestly  one  for  the 
benefit  of  the  carriers,  and  it  does  not  lie  in  the  mouth  of  the  Government  to  con- 
tend that  the  employment  in  question  was  not  extra  service,  and  to  be  paid  for  as 
such,  when  it  appears  that  the  United  States,  in  accordance  with  the  regulations  of 
the  Post-Office  Department,  actually  employed  the  letter  carriers  the  extra  number 
of  hours  per  day,  and  it  is  not  found  that  they  were  so  employed  as  clerks.  The 
postmaster  was  the  agent  of  the  United  States  to  direct  the  employment,  and  if  the 
letter  carriers  had  not  obeyed  the  orders  of  the  postmaster  they  could  have  been 
dismissed.  They  did  not  lose  their  legal  rights  under  the  statute  by  obeying  such 
orders. 

Judgment  affirmed. 

Mr.  Justice  Jackson  took  no  part  in  the  decision  of  this  case.

v.  Frank  Gates.  Appeal  from  the  Court  of  Claims.  March  13,  1893,  148  U.  S.,  134.] 

Mr.  Justice  Blatchford  delivered  the  opinion  of  the  court: 

In  this  case  Frank  Gates  filed  a petition  in  the  Court  of  Claims,  May  27,  1891,  set- 
ting forth  that  from  May  24,  1888,  to  July  31,  1888,  he  was  a letter  carrier  in  the  post- 
office  at  the  city  of  New  York,  of  the  class  entitled  to  a salary  of  $1,000  a year;  that 
during  that  period  he  was  from  time  to  time  actually  employed  in  excess  of  eight 
hours  a day  in  the  performance  of  the  duties  assigned  to  him  as  such  carrier,  aggregating 
a specified  excess;  that  by  the  act  of  May  24,  1888  (set  forth  in  case  No.  1061,  just 
decided),  he  became  entitled  to  extra  pay  for  all  the  time  during  which  he  was  so

OVERTIME  CLAIMS  OF  LETTER  CARRIERS. 


employed  in  excess  of  eight  hours  a day;  that  he  had  applied  to  the  Post-Office  Depart- 
ment for  payment  and  it  had  not  been  paid;  and  that  he  claimed  judgment  for  a 
specified  amount,  besides  cost.  A traverse  of  the  petition  was  filed  July  14,  1891,  and 
the  case  was  heard  by  the  Court  of  Claims,  which,  on  the  evidence,  found  the  facts 
to  be  as  follows: 

“1.  The  claimant  was,  during  the  months  of  May,  June,  and  July,  1888,  a letter 
carrier  of  the  first  class,  salary  $1,000  a year,  in  the  city  of  New  York,  in  the  State  of 
New  York. 

“2.  From  May  24,  1888,  to  July  31,  1888,  he  was  actually  and  necessarily  employed 
in  the  performance  of  his  duties  more  than  eight  hours  a day,  the  excess  over  such 
eight  hours  being  as  follows: 

Hrs.  Min.

June,  1888 78  58 

July,  1888 69  18

“He  has  received  no  extra  pay  for  the  excess. 

“3.  For  the  said  period  of  time  claimant  performed  only  fifteen  hours  of  service  on 
the  10  Sundays,  and  four  hours  and  thirty  minutes  on  Decoration  Day,  and  the  same 
time  on  the  4th  day  of  July.” 

On  such  findings  of  fact,  the  court  found,  as  a conclusion  of  law,  that  Gates  was 
entitled  to  recover  for  the  one  hundred  and  sixty-five  hours  and  nine  minutes  of  extra 
work  performed  by  him,  without  being  required  to  deduct  therefrom  the  deficit  of 
less  than  eight  hours  a day  worked  on  Sundays  and  holidays,  as  shown  by  finding  3, 
amounting,  at  34.2  cents  per  hour,  to  $56.48;  and  for  that  amount  a judgment  was 
entered  for  him,  to  review  which  the  United  States  has  appealed. 

In  the  opinion  of  the  Court  of  Claims,  reported  in  27  Ct.  Cls.,  244,  259,  it  is  stated 
that  No.  1061  (just  decided)  embraced,  with  a single  exception,  all  the  questions 
presented  by  the  present  case,  No.  1060,  besides  many  more  questions;  and  that  No. 
1060  presented  one  question  which  was  not  presented  in  the  other  cases.  That  ques- 
tion is  stated  in  the  opinion  as  follows:  “On  week  days  the  carriers  were  employed 
more  than  eight  hours,  but  on  Sundays  less,  and  the  deficit  of  the  latter  nearly  equals 
the  excess  of  the  former.  The  Post-Office  Department,  by  its  circular  February  19, 
1891,  has  directed  postmasters  ‘To  determine  the  time  a letter  carrier  may  have  been 
required  to  work  during  any  month  in  excess  of  eight  hours  per  day,  as  follows: 

‘ ‘ ‘ Ascertain  the  aggregate  hours  worked  during  the  month . Multiply  the  number 
of  days  worked  during  the  month  by  eight,  and  substract  the  product  thus  obtained 
from  the  aggregate  number  of  hours  worked,  and  the  remainder  will  be  the  extra 
time  for  which  the  carrier  is  entitled  to  pay  at  the  following  rates:

$850 

$1,000 

“ ‘The  time  necessarily  consumed  in  the  performance  of  the  service  between  “report 
for  duty”  and  “end  of  duty”  is  the  “actual  time”  to  be  allowed,  and  the  interim 
between  deliveries  is  the  carrier’s  own  time,  and  can  not  in  any  case  be  charged 
against  the  United  States.’ 

“The  carrier’s  eight-hour  law  declares  ‘that  hereafter  eight  hours  shall  constitute 
a day’s  work,’  but  it  allows  compensation  to  continue  in  the  form  of  an  annual  salary, 
and  requires  no  deduction  to  be  made  if  the  duties  of  the  day  do  not  extend  through 
the  prescribed  time.  It  also  declares  that  ‘if  any  letter  carrier  is  employed  a greater 
number  of  hours  per  day  than  eight  he  shall  be  paid  extra  for  the  same.’  To  sustain 
the  interpretation  given  to  the  act  by  the  department,  it  will  be  necessary  to  read  in 
it  by  construction  the  words  ‘on  an  average,’  i.  e.,  if  any  letter  carrier  is  employed  on 
an  average  a greater  number  of  hours  per  day  than  eight,  he  shall  be  paid  extra  for 
the  same.  This  the  court  is  not  at  liberty  to  do.  The  carrier  is  entitled  to  eight 
hours’  work,  and  to  his  pay  if  work  is  not  furnished  to  [him.  For  any  excess  on  any 
day  he  is  entitled  to  extra  pay.  The  only  set-off  that  can  be  maintained  is  when  he 
is  absent  from  duty  without  leave.  The  department  is  at  liberty  to  keep  a carrier 


OVERTIME  CLAIMS  OF  LETTER  CARRIERS. 


13 


employed  eight  hours  every  day,  but  not  to  give  him  a deficit  of  work  one  day 
and  an  excess  another.” 

In  the  brief  of  the  Solicitor-General  in  the  present  case,  it  is  stated  that  in  his 
opinion  the  decision  of  the  Court  of  Claims  was  correct;  that  he  is  prevented  from 
dismissing  the  appeal  only  by  the  fact  that  another  department  of  the  Government 
has  differed  from  that  view  and  declines  to  follow  it  until  the  question  is  decided 
authoritatively  by  this  court;  and  that  justice  to  the  letter  carriers  seems,  therefore, 
to  require  that  the  case  be  submitted  to  this  court  for  its  determination,  which  he 
does  without  argument. 

The  conclusions  which  we  have  reached  in  No.  1061  cover  the  same  questions 
arising  in  this  case  which  are  presented  in  that;  and  as  the  appellant  does  not  chal- 
lenge the  decision  of  the  Court  of  Claims  as  to  the  question  presented  in  this  case 
which  is  not  presented  in  No.  1061,  it  is  sufficient  to  say  that  we  concur  with  the 
views  of  that  court  above  stated  as  to  that  question. 

Judgment  affirmed.

Washington , D.  C.,  April  18,  1900. 

Sir:  I acknowledge  receipt  of  your  communication  of  April  16  inclosing  a copy  of 
bill  S.  4018,  for  the  payment  of  overtime  claims  of  letter  carriers  excluded  from 
judgment  as  barred  by  limitation.  You  request  that  I will  cause  to  be  forwarded, 
for  the  use  of  your  committee,  all  papers  on  file  in  my  department  relating  to  these 
claims,  and  also  that  I will  favor  the  committee' with  my  opinion  as  to  the  merits  of 
the  same. 

In  reply  I have  the  honor  to  state  that  the  list  of  persons  and  amounts  to  which 
this  bill  is  intended  to  apply,  contained  in  Senate  Doc.  No.  216,  Ffty-sixth  Congress 
first  session,  to  which  the  bill  refers,  was  made  out  in  response  to  a resolution  of  the 
Senate  of  the  date  December  18,  1899,  calling  upon  the  department  for  a list  of  the 
amounts  which  have  been  reported  by  the  commissioners  of  the  Court  of  Claims  as 
representing  services  actually  performed  by  letter  carriers  in  excess  of  eight  hours 
per  day. 

This  list  was  prepared  under  my  direction  by  an  expert  employee  of  this  depart- 
ment, who  has  during  the  past  five  years  assisted  the  commissioners  of  the  Court 
of  Claims  in  preparing  their  reports  to  the  court  of  overtime  of  letter  carriers.  The 
list  was  made  out  by  him  from  an  examination  of  each  one  of  the  2,000  or  more  reports 
of  overtime  of  letter  carriers,  which  have  been  made  to  the  Court  of  Claims  by  the 
commissioners  appointed  for  the  purpose  during  the  past  six  years,  and  was  based 
upon  the  statements  contained  in  such  reports  of  the  amount  and  value  of  overtime 
services  performed  by  letter  carriers  for  which  claim  was  barred  by  the  statute  of 
limitations  governing  actions  in  the  Court  of  Claims.  These  statements  of  barred 
services  were  made  by  the  commissioners  upon  an  investigation  of  exactly  the  same 
facts  as  were  inquired  into  by  them  in  reporting  upon  claims  not  barred,  and  in  fact 
are  a part  and  parcel  of  each  report. 

The  result  of  this  work  is  undoubtedly  correct,  and  the  total  amount  of  such  claims, 
as  ascertained  by  careful  computation,  is  $220,674.24.  There  are  no  papers  on  file  in 
this  department  relating  to  these  claims,  and  the  papers  from  which  computation  of 
the  same  was  made  are  part  of  the  files  of  the  Court  of  Claims;  hence  I am  unable  to 
forward,  for  the  use  of  your  committee,  any  papers  in  the  premises. 

As  regards  the  merits  of  these  claims,  they  were  excluded  from  the  consideration 
of  the  Court  of  Claims  solely  by  reason  of  the  statute  of  limitations  above  referred  to. 
The  various  amounts  were  ascertained  by  commissioners  of  the  Court  of  Claims,  who 
were  appointed  by  the  court  for  the  purpose  of  inquiring  into  the  facts  relating  to  the 
claims  of  letter  carriers  throughout  the  United  States  for  overtime  services,  and  the 
correctness  of  their  work  is  evidenced  by  the  fact  that  their  reports  have  almost 
invariably  been  accepted,  not  only  by  the  claimants,  but  by  the  United  States,  as 
being  just  and  fair.  I am  satisfied,  too,  that  these  reports  were  eminently  conservative. 

As  the  only  objection  that  I am  aware  of  to  these  claims  is  a technical  one,  it  is 
my  opinion  that,  provided  the  failure  of  the  claimants  to  present  their  claims  to  the 
court  before  the  statute  of  limitations  commenced  to  run  against  the  same  can  be 
satisfactorily  explained,  these  claims  are  as  meritorious  as  any  of  those  upon  which 
judgment  has  heretofore  been  rendered  by  the  court.

suggest  that  the  information  asked  for  in  this  connection  can  undoubtedly  be  obtained 
from  the  Post-Office  Department,  in  which  department  these  claims  originated. 

Very  respectfully, 

John  W.  Griggs,  Attorney-General. 

Hon.  H.  S.  Boutell, 

Chairman  Subcommittee  No.  2 , Committee  on  Claims , 

House  of  Representatives. 


Post-Office  Department, 

Office  of  the  Postmaster-General, 

Washington , D.  C.,  April  18,  1900. 

Sir:  I have  the  honor  to  acknowledge  receipt  of  your  communication  of  the  4th 
instant,  inclosing  copy  of  House  bill  10315  and  requesting  that  your  committee  be 
furnished  with  papers  or  information  on  file  in  this  department  bearing  upon  the 
subject-matter  of  said  bill. 

In  reply  I have  the  honor  to  state  that  between  the  years  1889  and  1894  numerous 
claims  for  overtime  were  filed  in  this  department  by  letter  carriers  and  ex-letter  car- 
riers. These  claims  were  made  out  on  blanks  furnished  by  this  department  to  post- 
masters, and  postmasters  were  required  to  certify  on  the  blanks  to  the  correctness  of 
the  claims.  It  was  clearly  the  intention  of  the  department  at  that  time  to  adjust 
and  pay  these  claims,  and  an  unexpended  balance  of  an  appropriation  having  been 
made  available  for  this  purpose  in  1890  (26  Stat.  L.,  p.  676),  a number  of  such  claims 
arising  at  Washington  and  Philadelphia  were  adjusted  and  paid. 

No  further  appropriations  were  made  to  enable  this  department  to  pay  the  claims 
and  there  arose  also  questions  as  to  the  proper  interpretation  of  the  act  of  May  24, 
1888,  “An  act  to  limit  the  hours  that  letter  carriers  in  cities  shall  be  employed  per 
day.”  These  questions  were  judicially  determined  by  decisions  of  the  Court  of 
Claims  in  the  case  of  Post  v.  United  States  (27  Ct.  Cls.  R.,  244)  and  by  the  Supreme 
Court  in  United  States  v.  Post  (148  U.  S.  Reports,  124)  and  in  United  States  v.  Gates 
(148  U.  S.  Reports,  134). 

After  the  decisions  of  the  Supreme  Court  were  announced  the  Postmaster-General 
issued  an  order  to  prevent  the  further  making  of  overtime  in  the  light  of  the  decisions 
above  mentioned . This  order  was  followed  by  a circular  letter  of  instructions  to  post- 
masters, dated  April  5,  1893,  and  signed  by  the  First  Assistant  Postmaster-General, 
in  which  the  following  reference  to  overtime  claims  is  made : 

“In  this  connection,  with  a view  to  minimizing  the  correspondence,  confusion, 
and  delay  incident  to  an  equitable  adjustment  of  valid  claims  for  overtime  services 
actually  and  necessarily  performed,  letter  carriers  may  be  informed  that  a new,  and 
it  is  to  be  hoped  a correct,  form  of  claim  blank  will  soon  be  sent  by  the  department, 
for  the  benefit  of  claimants,  to  the  postmasters  at  all  free-delivery  offices  whence 
overtime  claims  have  emanated,  upon  which  particular  blank  all  claims  heretofore 
submitted  should  be  restated  and  upon  which  any  subsequent  claims  may  also  be 
presented  to  the  department  for  adjustment.” 

The  intention  of  the  department  to  adjust  these  claims  is  further  shown  in  a com- 
munication of  the  Postmaster-General  to  the  Speaker  of  the  House  of  Representatives, 
dated  November  8,  1893  (Ex.  Doc.  No.  8,  53d  Cong.,  2d  sess.),  and  by  letters  sent  out 
by  this  department  in  answer  to  inquiries  from  claimants.  As  a sample  of  these 
letters  I quote  one  written  to  J.  F.  O’Connor,  Springfield,  Mass.,  under  date  of  March 
21,  1894: 

“Yours  of  the  27th  ultimo  received.  You  can  not  present  your  claim  for  back  pay 
to  the  Court  of  Claims  without  having  counsel  to  represent  you.  It  is  not  necessary, 
however,  to  present  these  claims  to  the  Court  of  Claims;  if  they  are  sent  to  this 
department  they  will  receive  proper  attention.” 

As  to  the  merits  of  the  claims,  I am  of  the  opinion  that  the  claimants  are,  as  a mat- 
ter of  justice,  entitled  to  relief  in  some  form. 

Very  respectfully,  Ch.  Emory  Smith, 

Postmaster-Genera  l .

OVERTIME  CLAIMS  OF  LETTER  CARRIERS. 


15 


[House  Executive  Document  !No.  8(  Fifty-third  Congress,  second  session.] 


Office  of  the  Postmaster-General, 

Washington,  D.  C.,  November  8,  1898 . 

Sir:  Replying  to  resolution  of  inquiry  on  the  part  of  the  House  of  Representatives, 
dated  November  3,  1893,  as  to  whether  the  claims  of  letter  carriers  for  compensation 
for  services  in  excess  of  eight  hours  per  day,  under  act  of  May  24,  1888,  as  construed 
by  the  Court  of  Claims  March  7,  1892,  are  being  received,  and  whether  in  the  settle- 
ment of  these  claims  the  services  of  attorneys  are  necessary,  I have  the  honor  to  state: 

(1)  That  claims  are  now,  from  time  to  time,  being  received,  which  are  additional 
to  a large  number  already  on  file  in  this  department,  including  those  adjudicated  by 
the  honorable  Court  of  Claims,  but  not  yet  paid. 

(2)  I am  of  the  opinion  that  the  services  of  attorneys  are  unnecessary,  either  in 
behalf  of  claimants  or  the  Government,  for  the  reason  that  the  settlement  of  these 
claims  will,  necessarily,  be  made  from  records  kept  in  the  several  post-offices,  in  con- 
nection with  the  departmental  records,  and  will  be  a matter  for  clerical  rather  than 
legal  capacity.  It  is  true  that  in  very  many,  perhaps  nine-tenths,  of  the  claims  on 
file,  powers  of  attorney  were  filed  simultaneously  with  the  claims,  but  no  action  has 
yet  arisen  in  the  settlement  thereof  in  which  attorneys  have  been  recognized,  except 
informally,  by  the  department. 

The  adjudication  and  settlement  of  these  claims  can  be  made  by  the  free-delivery 
division  of  this  department  direct,  if  afforded  an  adequate  clerical  force  for  their 
investigation  and  a sufficient  appropriation  for  their  payment.  The  adjudication  of 
similar  claims  heretofore  paid  was  effected  in  this  manner. 

Very  respectfully, 

W.  S.  Bissell,  Postmaster-General. 

Hon.  Chas.  F.  Crisp, 

Speaker  of  the  House  of  Representatives . 


The  foregoing  document  is  quoted  in  the  last  Senate  report  on  this 
bill  (S.  Rept.  82,  60th  Cong.,  1st  sess.),  and  the  following  statement 
is  made  by  the  committee: 

No  such  general  appropriation  as  was  suggested  by  the  last  paragraph  of  this  response 
was  ever  made,  either  for  the  purpose  of  affording  a sufficient  clerical  force  or  for  the 
payment  of  the  claims.  All  claimants,  therefore,  necessarily  had  to  take  their  cases 
into  the  Court  of  Claims.  Wherever  the  claim  was  presented  more  than  six  years 
after  the  rendition  of  the  services  the  carrier  was  unable  to  obtain  judgment  for  such 
part  as  accrued  more  than  six  years  before  the  filing  of  the  petition,  under  the  provisions 
of  section  1059  of  the  Revised  Statutes,  which  is  in  the  following  words: 

“ Every  claim  against  the  United  States  cognizable  by  the  Court  of  Claims  shall  be 
forever  barred  unless  the  petition  setting  forth  a statement  thereof  is  filed  in  the 
court  * * * within  six  years  after  the  claim  first  accrues.  ” 

In  order  to  facilitate  the  settlement  of  this  very  numerous  class  of  claims,  com- 
missioners were  appointed  to  examine  and  report  fully  the  amounts  due  the  several 
claimants.  The  form  of  their  commission  will  be  found  printed  in  the  report  of  the 
case  of  Adams  v.  United  States  (33  Ct.  Cls.  R.,  pp.  411,  415),  as  follows: 

“Upon  motion  of  the  Assistant  Attorney-General,  on  behalf  of  the  Government, 

it  is  hereby  ordered  that be,  and  is  hereby,  constituted  a commissioner  of 

this  court  in  the  above-entitled  action  and  such  other  actions  as  may  be  brought  before 
him  by  consent  of  the  parties  or  order  of  court. 

“He  shall  investigate  such  claims,  upon  any  books,  records,  or  documents  relating 
thereto,  and  upon  such  evidence,  oral  or  written,  as  he  may  deem  material,  and  shall 
report  the  facts  found  by  him  to  exist,  together  with  a computation  of  the  amounts 
due  the  several  claimants  therefor. 

“ He  shall  have  power  to  examine  claimants  and  other  witnesses,  at  any  place  within 
the  county  of  their  respective  residences;  to  exercise  the  powers  of  a commissioner 
of  the  court;  he  may  in  any  case  where  he  deems  it  material,  or  at  request  of  either 
party,  attach  to  his  report  any  depositions  or  other  evidence  taken  by  him.  In  case 
any  claimant  shall  in  writing  request  of  such  commissioner  opportunity  to  be  repre- 
sented by  counsel  upon  the  taking  of  testimony,  said  referee  shall  allow  reasonable 
time  for  procuring  the  attendance  of  such  counsel . 

_ “Upon  the  coming  in  of  any  report  of  such  referee,  either  party  shall  have  the 
right  to  object  to  any  detail  of  such  report  and  computation  and  to  take  any  evidence 
in  support  either  of  the  claim  or  the  defense  in  the  same  manner  as  if  no  such  report 
had  been  made. 

“This  appointment  may  be  revoked  at  any  time  by  order  of  this  court.”

OVERTIME  CLAIMS  OF  LETTER  CARRIERS. 


The  commissioners  in  the  examination  of  the  claims  reported  on  the  amount  of 
overtime  made  by  the  carriers  and  the  statutory  compensation  therefor,  and  judg- 
ments were  entered  upon  these  reports  for  all  amounts  which  had  been  earned 
within  the  six  years  before  the  time  the  petition  bad  been  filed  in  each  case,  respec- 
tively. Wherever  a portion  of  the  claim  was  over  six  years  old,  the  amount  repre- 
senting such  portion  was  excluded  or  excepted  from  judgment  under  the  bar  of 
limitation  enacted  by  section  1059  of  the  Revised  Statutes  as  above  quoted.  The 
report  of  the  Attorney-General,  contained  in  Senate  Doc.  No.  216,  contains  the  tabu- 
lated statement  of  the  amounts  thus  reported  by  commissioners  as  having  been 
actually  earned  for  overtime  made  under  the  act  of  May  24,  1888,  but  excluded  or 
excepted  from  judgment  on  the  sole  ground  of  limitation.  The  Attorney-General 
states  that  the  reports  of  the  commissioners  were  eminently  conservative,  and  have 
almost  invariably  been  accepted,  both  by  the  claimants  and  by  the  United  States, 
as  just  and  fair.  Also  that — 

“These  statements  of  barred  services  were  made  by  the  commissioners  upon  an 
investigation  of  exactly  the  same  facts  as  were  inquired  into  by  them  in  reporting 
upon  claims  not  barred,  and,  in  fact,  are  a part  and  parcel  of  each  report.” 

The  total  amount  for  which  judgments  have  been  entered  by  the  Court  of  Claims 
is  about  $3,000,000,  as  shown  by  the  Report  of  the  Postmaster-General  for  1897,  page 
95,  leaving  as  excluded  or  excepted  from  judgment,  for  the  sole  reason  that  the  claims 
were  barred  by  limitation,  the  amount  of  claims  contained  in  Senate  Document 
No.  216  and  provided  for  by  the  present  bill,  aggregating  $220,674.24.  As  the  inves- 
tigation upon  which  these  claims  were  found  due  was  of  precisely  the  same  char- 
acter as  that  which  resulted  in  the  entry  of  the  large  amount  of  judgments  which 
have  been  paid  by  appropriations  in  the  regular  deficiency  bills,  and  as  the  failure 
of  these  claimants  to  present  their  claims  to  the  Court  of  Claims  in  time  was  not 
due  to  their  own  fault,  but  to  the  belief,  for  which  they  had  a good  apparent  foun- 
dation in  many  written  statements  of  the  department  itself,  that  the  claims  would 
be  settled  by  the  department  without  contest,  and  without  the  necessity  of  suing  in 
the  Court  of  Claims,  it  is  evident  that  the  facts  fully  support  the  opinion  of  the  Post- 
master-Genbral  “that  the  claimants  are,  as  a matter  of  justice,  entitled  to  relief  in 
some  form.” 

Since  January  1,  1895,  no  appreciable  overtime  has  been  made  by  letter  carriers. 
This  fact  is  stated  in  the  Postmaster-General’s  annual  report  for  1897,  page  95. 

Your  committee  annex  to  this  report  a copy  of  the  opinions  delivered  by  the  Su- 
preme Court  of  the  United  States  on  March  .13,  1893,  in  which  the  act  of  May  24, 
1888,  under  which  these  claims  arise,  is  set  forth  and  fully  construed.  These  opin- 
ions are  reported  in  148  United  States  Reports,  pages  124  to  137. 

The  examination  of  these  claims  by  commissioners  of  the  Court  of  Claims,  upon 
which  the  judgments  were  based,  from  which  the  amounts  provided  for  in  the  pend- 
ing bill  were  excluded  or  excepted,  were  all  made  subsequently  to  the  rendition  of 
these  opinions  by  the  Supreme  Court  and  in  accordance  therewith. 

Your  committee  therefore  report  back  the  bill,  S.  4018,  favorably  and  recommend 
its  passage. 

The  following  appears  in  House  Report  No.  1182,  Fifty-sixth 
Congress,  first  session,  and  is  embodied  in  all  later  reports  on  this 
measure : 

[Extracts  from  letters  received  from  claimants  concerning  reasons  why  their  claims  were  not  presented  in 
time  to  escape  the  action  of  the  statute  of  limitations.  These  are  typical  of  a very  large  number.] 

Davenport , Iowa. — In  regard  to  this  claim  I will  say  that  I sent  it  to  the  First  Assist- 
ant Postmaster-General,  on  a blank  that  was  supplied  by  him  for  this  purpose,  in 
December,  1893,  I think. 

This  blank  had  a part  of  the  overtime  which  I had  made  on  it  and  was  signed  by 
Postmaster as  being  correct  and  just. 

This  claim  was  returned  to  me  by  the  first  assistant,  for  the  reason  that  I had  only 
the  overtime  made  each  day  made  out,  instead  of  having  all  of  the  time  consumed 
each  day  shown;  with  the  sam^  envelope  he  returned  me  new  blanks  with  instruc- 
tions to  properly  fill  out  and  on  receipt  of  the  same  he  also  said  that  the  department 
would  take  action,  he  also  informed  me  that  it  would  not  be  necessary  to  employ  the 
services  of  an  attorney. 

Acting  under  these  instructions,  I made  out  another  blank  and  had  it  signed  by 
Mr.  Fred  A.  Lisher,  who  was  then  postmaster,  and  forwarded  it  to  the  department  in 
the  month  of  March,  1894,  and  since  that  time  I have  heard  nothing  from  them. 

In  regard  to  the  other  claims  that  you  have  from  this  city,  I will  say  that  at  the 
time  the  overtime  was  made  it  was  impossible  for  any  of  the  men  to  file  any  claims 
and  hold  their  positions. 


OVERTIME  CLAIMS  OF  LETTER  CARRIERS. 


17 


Pittsburg , Pa. — In  connection  with  the  matter  I will  say at  the  time  a post- 

office  inspector  visited  this  city  and  told  us  he  was  representing  the  Post-Office  Depart- 
ment in  the  matter  of  settling  our  claims  for  overtime.  He  told  us  the  department 
would  settle  with  and  pay  us  and  that  was  the  surest,  safest,  and  perhaps  the  only 
way  by  which  a settlement  could  be  reached,  as  it  might  be  twenty  years  before  our 
claims  would  be  reached  before  the  Court  of  Claims. 

As  he  was  recognized  by  the  local  post-office  officials  as  an  officer  of  the  department, 
I believed  he  spoke  with  authority  and  truthfully  and  thought  any  other  than  the 
plan  he  suggested  would  be  useless,  as  well  as  likely  to  be  considered  discourteous, 
and  when  no  relief  came  from  the  department,  and  as  the  statute  of  limitations  was 
working  against  my  claim,  I at  last  tried  the  Court  of  Claims. 

Peoria , III. — At  the  time  the  postmaster  at  Bloomington,  where  I was  employed, 
Hon.  John  Eddy,  took  my  papers,  after  I had  made  out  my  claim  for  overtime,  and 
sent  them  to  the  Post-Office  Department  instead  of  sending  them  to  the  claim  depart- 
ment. My  claim  was  sent  in  there  in  plenty  of  time. 

The  inclosed  letter  will  explain  itself  and  show  what  the  condition  of  affairs  was  at 
Washington.  If  you  do  not  need  this,  please  return  same  to  me. 


Post-Office  Department, 

Office  of  the  First  Assistant  Postmaster-General, 

Washington,  D.  C.,  March  18,  189 A- 

Sir:  Yours  of  the  12th  instant,  in  reference  to  your  claim  for  overtime  now  on  file 
in  the  Post-Office  Department,  has  been  received. 

In  reply  I have  to  state  that  it  is  impossible  to  give  you  any  information  concerning 
the  probable  date  upon  which  the  department  will  take  up  these  claims  for  settle- 
ment, as  this  is  a matter  depending  entirely  upon  the  action  of  Congress. 

Your  claim  will,  however,  have  the  same  consideration  shown  others  of  like  char- 
acter. 


Very  respectfully, 


First  Assistant  Postmaster -General. 


Newarh,  N.  J. — Referring  to  the  claims  in  question  as  presented  by  the  carriers 
of  this  office,  we  wish  to  state  that  in  1894  the  carriers  concerned  presented,  at  the 
suggestion  of  the  then  superintendent  of  free  delivery,  their  claims  to  the  Post-Office 
Department.  We  were  assured  at  the  time  that  the  claims  would  receive  proper 
consideration,  and  those  authorities  being  our  highest  superiors,  we  felt  assured  that 
our  claims  would  be  properly  filed  and  given  the  consideration  merited  under  the 
law.  It  appears,  however,  that  those  claims  were  permitted  to  remain  on  file  and 
were  never  properly  presented  to  the  disbursing  officers  of  the  United  States,  and 
when  a second  claim  was  filed  we  learned  through  you  that  the  claims  originating 
prior  to  a certain  time  were  outlawed  by  limitation. 

You  will  observe  that  as  far  as  we  are  concerned  we  filed  our  claims  in  ample  time 
to  prevent  the  raising  of  the  question  of  limitation  of  time,  and  it  does  not  seem  that 
in  justice  to  us  we  should  be  deprived  of  what  is  legally  and  equitably  our  due  simply 
because  our  superior  officers  of  that  time  neglected  or  overlooked  the  matter. 

Paducah,  Ky. — I,  with  four  other  carriers,  sent  our  claims  to  the  Post-Office  Depart- 
ment at  Washington.  They  were  returned,  saying  that  there  would  be  a commissioner 
call  on  us  to  adjust  the  claim,  so  I did  not  think  it  necessary  to  take  any  further  steps 
until  he  came.  So  when  the  commissioner  did  come  my  time  was  debarred.  I have 
no  letters  of  any  description,  they  all  being  destroyed  . 

Lexington , Ky. — My  claim  for  overtime  as  letter  carrier  in  this  city  was  filed  in  the 
Post-Office  Department  at  Washington,  D.  C.,  about  April  24,  1894.  The  claim  was 
prepared  and  made  out  upon  a blank  furnished  by  the  Postmaster-General,  and  by 
his  instructions  was  filed,  and  acknowledgment  of  same  received  about  May  1,  1894. 
Thinking  that  I had  done  as  I should  do,  I allowed  the  claim  to  remain  on  file  until 
December  12,  1894.  I called  upon  the  Postmaster- General  for  status  of  the  claim, 
and  in  reply  received  notice  that  the  claim  would  have  to  be  filed  in  the  Court  of 
Claims,  which  was  done,  not,  however,  before  the  statute  of  limitations  had  been 
running  for  several  months.  In  April,  1895,  I filed  an  application  with  the  Post- 
master-General to  assist  me  in  getting  the  part  of  the  claim  which  was  barred,  covering 
the  period  from  May  24, 1888,  to  January  1, 1889.  I have  had  several  communications 
from  the  Post-Office  Department  since  that  time,  which  I will  forward  to  you.

action  of  the  department. 

Very  respectfully,  , 

First  Assistant  Postmaster-General. 


Scranton,  Pa. — One  reason  why  this  claim  was  not  prosecuted  in  time  was  because 
I,  with  others,  was  under  the  impression  that  it  would  be  recognized  and  paid  by 
the  Government  without  presenting  it  through  a regular  legal  process  before  the 
Court  of  Claims,  and  when  I found  out  to  the  contrary  this  portion  of  my  claim  had 
been  barred  by  the  statute  of  limitations.  We  thought  if  our  claims  would  be  paid 
simply  upon  their  presentation  we  could  save  the  legal  expenses. 

Altoona,  Pa. — The  reason  why  I did  not  file  my  claim  for  overtime  before  it  was 
barred  by  the  statute  of  limitations  was  that  the  then  postmaster  said  that  any  car- 
rier who  attempted  or  would  file  any  claim  for  overtime  during  his  term  as  post- 
master of  this  office  he  would  report  them  to  the  Post-Office  Department  and  recom- 
mend their  dismissal  from  the  service.  This  was  the  rod  he  held  over  us.  And  to 

further  display  his  unkind  and  unjust  disposition  in  the  matter,  after , our 

attorney,  who  visited  our  office  and  took  up  the  claims,  he  called  me  into  his  private 
office  and  took  my  name  as  one  of  the  applicants,  and  stated  to  me  that  any  carrier 
who  had  filed  an  overtime  claim  he  would  report  him  to  the  department  and  use 
his  efforts  to  have  him  dismissed  from  the  service.  It  was  his  intimidating  and 
unkind  disposition  toward  the  carriers  that  kept  them  from  filing  their  claims  at  an 
earlier  date,  because  no  carrier  cared  to  lose  his  place  on  that  account. 

Paducah,  Ky. — This  claim,  in  connection  with  others,  was  entered  in  April,  1893. 
* * * They  were  sworn  to  before  Postmaster  Ed.  Farley  and  made  out  upon  sheets 

furnished  by  the  department  and  forwarded  by  Postmaster to  Washington; 

I think  to  the  First  Assistant  Postmaster-General. 

Little  Rock,  Ark. — Was  given  to  understand  by  officials  of  the  department  that  it 
would  not  be  necessary  to  put  the  claim  in  hand  of  a lawyer  for  collection  nor  in 
Court  of  Claims;  that  it  would  be  paid  without  this. 

Indianapolis,  Ind4 — The  general  impression  that  these  claims  would  be  adjusted  by 
the  department  and  a delicacy  in  bringing  suit  against  a department  where  you  had 


OVERTIME  CLAIMS  OF  LETTER  CARRIERS. 


19 


worked  for  years  and  hoped  to  continue  was  the  cause  of  delay  in  my  case  as  in  many 
others. 

Lynchburg , Va. — We,  the  undersigned  carriers,  beg  leave  to  say  that  the  nonpresen- 
tation of  our  claims  for  our  overtime  was  due  to  the  prevailing  impression  made  upon 
us  by  the  ex-postmaster  of  this  city,  Mr. , that  we  would  jeopardize  our  posi- 

tions. Therefore  we  deemed  it  not  necessary. 

Lynchburg , Va. — I had  several  conversations  in  regard  to  the  matter  with , 

who  was  then  superintendent  of  carriers,  and  he  informed  me  that  the  Government 
would  not  pay  the  claim.  I was  also  advised  by  my  friends  not  to  press  my  claim, 
as  it  would  likely  have  some  effect  upon  my  position. 

Wilkesbarre,  Pa. — I handed  my  claim  to  our  postmaster  for  approval,  and  he  came 
to  me  about  a month  after  and  told  me  that  he  received  a letter  from  the  Post-Office 
Department  at  Washington  stating  that  my  claim  had  been  received  and  would 
receive  prompt  attention. 

Owensboro , Ky. — We  were  under  the  impression  these  claims  would  be  paid  with- 
out the  services  of  an  attorney. 

Portland,  Me. — The  postmaster  gave  my  overtime  to  me  on  a paper  signed  by  him; 
told  me  to  mail  the  same  to  the  First  Assistant  Postmaster-General.  I did  as  requested 
by  the  postmaster.  Nearly  six  years  later  I learned  the  Court  of  Claims  was  the  place 
to  obtain  judgment  on  the  same.  I wrote  the  Post-Office  Department  for  my  papers. 

They  were  mailed  to  me.  I mailed  them  to  my  attorney, . I was 

informed  by  him  sometime  later  that  my  claim  was  barred  by  lapse  of  time. 

Pittsburg,  Pa. — There  was  a government  inspector  here  who  told  us  that  he  was 
here  for  the  purpose  of  fixing  our  claims,  and  we  need  not  do  anything  as  the  Gov- 
ernment would  pay  us.  So  you  can  see  why  we  did  not  get  our  claims  in. 

Macon,  Ga. — Some  years  ago  the  carriers  interested  appointed a com- 
mittee of  one  to  wait  upon  our  then  Postmaster and  ask  his  advice  as  to  what 

steps  we  should  take  in  the  matter,  which  was  as  follows:  That  he  did  not  object  to 
our  getting  the  claim  paid,  but  he  was  afraid  we  would  lose  our  positions  if  we  per- 
sisted in  pushing  the  claim.  Being  governed  by  this  advice  we  were  afraid  to  act  in 

the  matter  until visited  our  city  and  assured  us  that  we  would  not  jeopardize 

our  positions  in  presenting  these  claims. 

New  Britain,  Conn. — My  claim  was  presented  in  time  and  it  was  not,  or  any  part  of 
it,  barred  by  limitation.  If  there  was  any  delay  it  was  no  fault  of  mine,  because  my 
claim  was  sent  in  time,  and  if  it  was  not  filed  in  the  Court  of  Claims  it  was  because 
it  must  have  been  pigeonholed  or  neglected  in  some  department  of  the  Government. 
In  the  first  place  the  Postmaster-General  sent  papers  to  the  postmaster  in  New  Britain 
asking  or  making  inquiry  if  any  of  the  employees  or  letter  carriers  had  any  claims 
against  the  Government  for  overtime  work.  I filled  out  the  papers  and  returned 
them  to  the  Postmaster-General  long  before  my  claim  was  barred  by  limitation. 
After  I had  sent  the  papers  to  the  Postmaster-General,  and  I assumed  that  was  all 
that  was  necessary  to  be  done,  but  it  seems  that  instead  of  the  Government  repre- 
sentative presenting  them  to  the  Court  of  Claims  that  they  were  pigeonholed  as 
above  referred  to.  As  nothing  was  being  done  I asked  to  have  my  papers  returned, 
and  I then  forwarded  them  to  the  attorney  who  was  acting  for  me  and  others  at  the 
time  in  Washington,  and  I was  then  told  that  part  of  the  claim  was  barred  by  limita- 
tion. There  has  been  no  neglect  upon  my  part,  and  it  seems  to  me  that  the  neglect 
was  upon  the  part  of  some  of  the  government  employees  at  Washington. 

Chattanooga , Tenn. — Five  carriers  write  as  follows:  “In  regard  to  the  reason  or 
question  why  we  did  not  present  our  claims  before  we  were  barred  by  the  statute  of 
limitations,  we  beg  leave  to  state  that  soon  after  the  passage  of  the  “eight-hour”  law 
our  claims  were  presented,  having  just  been  made  out  by  our  superintendent  at  this 
post-office,  or  made  by  us  and  verified  by  him.  The  Government  sent  an  inspector 
here  to  examine  nto  the  matter,  and  he  decided  unless  we  worked  eight  hours  per 
day  for  seven  days  in  each  week,  including  Sunday,  we  could  not  recover  pay  for 
our  time.  This  decision  caused  us  to  make  no  further  effort  for  the  time  being  then. 
Soon  afterwards  a declaration  or  statement  was  made  by  our  Postmaster-General 
that  these  claims  would  be  paid,  and  that  it  would  not  be  necessary  for  carriers  to 
employ  counsel  or  attorneys,  as  the  Government  would  pay  the  claims  without  this 
expense.  So  the  claims  did  not  become  barred  because  we  had  not  made  the  demand, 
but  because  we  had  not  demanded  them  through  an  attorney  in  a legal  way.  We 
claim  the  lapse  of  time  was  caused,  first,  by  the  decision  against  us  by  the  inspector 
on  account  of  his  idea  of  fifty-six  hours  constituting  a week’s  work;  second,  on 
account  of  statement  of  Postmaster-General  that  the  claims  would  certainly  be  paid 
without  it  being  necessary  to  put  them  in  hands  of  an  attorney.” 

These  claims  were  promptly  filed  on  blanks  furnished  by  the  Post-Office  Depart- 
ment for  that  purpose. 


Chief  District , in  Charge  of  Carriers.

OVERTIME  CLAIMS  OF  LETTER  CARRIERS. 


Warren , Ohio . — The  advice  I got  from  our  postmaster  at  that  time  was  not  to  send 
in  any  claim,  for  the  Post-Office  Department  had  out  spies  looking  up  carriers  that 
made  claims  for  overtime,  so  I did  not  make  any  claim,  as  I would  have  liked  to. 

Philadelphia , Pa. — I was  in  the  post-office  at  the  time  the  claims  were  first  made 
out.  We  had  a committee  of  the  carriers  and  two  of  them  went  to  Washington  to 
represent  us  in  the  matter  of  overtime,  and  they  told  us  they  got  it  from  good  authority 
that  we  should  file  our  claims  for  overtime  in  the  Post-Office  Department  at  Washing- 
ton, and  we  were  not  informed  differently  until  almost  half  of  our  claims  were  barred 
by  the  statute  of  limitations. 

Bradford , Pa. — Will  say  I wrote  direct  to  the  department  and  received  answer  that 
as  soon  as  there  was  any  appropriation  made  for  payment  of  said  claims  I would  be 
paid  in  full.  They  also  entered  my  claim. 

Lexington,  Ky. — Will  inform  you  that  I was  told  by  a first  assistant  postmaster  at 
Lexington  that  it  was  not  necessary;  that  the  Post-Office  Department  would  have 
claim  properly  filed  without  it. 

Trinidad,  Colo. — I was  informed  by  the  postmaster  that  if  such  application  were 
made  it  would  not  be  allowed,  and  that  it  would  jeopardize  my  position  in  the  service. 

Danville  111. — I carried  mail  from  July  4,  1889,  till  about  the  middle  of  January, 
1892,  remaining  in  the  office  till  April  4,  1892,  leaving  on  this  date  for  Managua,  Nica- 
ragua. Some  time  while  I was  in  Nicaragua  some  of  my  friends  notified  me  that  I 
was  entitled  to  overtime.  I wrote  to  them  and  made  all  the  inquiries  possible,  but 
as  it  took  some  four  or  five  months  to  get  an  answer  and  sometimes  not  any  at  all,  I 
could  not  do  anything  until  I returned  here  in  December,  1897. 

Beaver  Falls , Pa. — The  reason  the  claims  of  the  carriers  were  not  filed  before  the 

limitation  had  cut  out  part  of  the  time  was  because  the  postmaster,  , advised 

us  not  to  file  our  claim  for  overtime,  as  we  might  lose  our  positions  by  so  doing. 

Scranton,  Pa. — My  case,  with  several  others,  was  presented  at  the  Post-Office 
Department,  office  of  First  Assistant  Postmaster-General,  Superintendent  Free- 
Delivery  System,  Washington,  D.  C.,  October  3,  1890,  and  they  were  filed  for  con- 
sideration when  reached  in  their  order. 

Middletown,  Ohio. — The  Postal  Department  forwarded  to  me  a blank  form  upon 

which  to  make  out  the  claim.  I called  upon  — , then  postmaster  of  Middletown, 

and  showed  him  the  form  and  requested  permission  to  examine  the  time  sheet  in 

order  to  get  the  data.  While  I was  at  work  upon  that  Mr.  said  to  me  “that 

I had  not  better  file  my  claim,  as  it  would  not  amount  to  anything,  and  might  cause 
the  department  to  secure  our  dismissal  from  the  service.”  As  he  was  my  superior 
officer  at  the  time,  and  I presumed  that  he  knew  the  postal  laws,  or  had  information 
which  was  reliable,  I refrained  from  making  out  the  claim  for  the  reason  that  I could 
not  afford  to  lose  my  position,  particularly  if  the  claim  would  not  be  allowed.  This 
occurred  on  several  occasions,  and  my  sole  reason  for  not  presenting  my  claim  at  that 
time,  or  until  the  same  was  barred  by  the  statute,  was  that  through  my  postmaster’s 
influence  I was  persuaded  not  to  do  so,  and  feared  that  if  I did  either  that  he  or  some 
other  person  in  authority  would  cause  my  dismissal  from  the  service. 

Philadelphia,  Pa. — In  August,  1890,  I sent  my  claim  to  Postmaster-General,  Wash- 
ington, D.  C.,  with  the  understanding  that  he  would  see  that  I got  my  claim.  On 
August  13, 1890,  I received  a letter  from  Acting  Superintendent  Free-Delivery  System 
that  my  claim  had  been  received,  and  that  I would  be  paid  in  my  turn. 

New  Orleans,  La. — I consulted  superintendent  carriers,  New  Orleans,  La.;  he  told 
me  I could  do  what  I thought  best,  and  gave  me  as  his  opinion  that  any  overtime 
that  was  due  me  would  be  recognized  by  the  Department  when  the  commissioners 
came  down  to  examine  the  records,  and  then  it  would  be  time  enough  to  file  my 
claim.  To  my  surprise  you  informed  me  about  the  limitation  clause. 

Sheboygan,  Wis. — When  the  letter  carriers  throughout  the  country  were  notified  to 
send  in  their  claims,  the  carriers  of  this  office  also  took  action  preparatory  to  sending 
in  said  claims.  Mr. , who  was  then  our  postmaster,  disapproved  of  our  inten- 

tion in  a very  decided  manner,  even  going  so  far  as  to  send  the  false  statement  to  the 
Department  at  Washington  that  the  question  of  overtime  had  been  settled  by  him 
in  this  office,  and  that  we  had  agreed  to  drop  all  claims  of  overtime.  His  actions 
placed  us  in  a dilemma,  and  for  the  time  being  we  delayed  sending  in  our  claims. 
With  the  advent  of  another  postmaster  we  again  took  up  the  matter.  He  also  ex- 
pressed his  disapproval  of  our  intention,  and  so  it  was  that  much  valuable  time  was 
lost  before  we  finally  decided  to  send  in  our  claims.  But  for  the  opposition  of  our 
postmasters  our  claims  would  have  been  presented  in  time. 

Atlanta,  Ga. — I was  informed  I was  to  put  the  claim  in  through  the  First  Assistant 
Postmaster-General,  which  I did.  I received  his  receipt  for  the  same.  I then  went 
down  in  Crawford  County,  Ga.,  in  the  sawmill  business  (in  the  backwood)  for  seven 
years  and  did  not  hear  any  more  from  my  claim  until  it  was  put  in  with  others.
